Willemina Johnson

Willemina Johnson was an elderly resident of Chicago, Illinois during the 1950s. She was born in the American South, and she later moved to the city during the Great Migration, moving into an apartment in a black working-class neighborhood. She was friends with Lena Younger, but they often debated about politics, as Johnson was a supporter of Booker T. Washington and black conservatism, opposing her family's move to white Clybourne Park due to her belief that they would be bombed by the whites if they moved.
